Amos: codes are different in different countries I guess. In a British newspaper "disaffeected Asian youth riot" or similar statements would be generally understood to mean Pakistani (or conceivably Bangladeshi) Muslims. "Asian" is mostly used in British papers(and indeed in government/bureaucratic documents) for Indian sub-continent. And Indians are not generally perceived as badly behaved, so the coupling of "Asian" and riot, kidnapping, drive-by shooting or any similar reference would be assumed by an average reader to mean Pakistani(whether correctly or not).
